Leonard had everything in his prime. He could brawl, box, punch, he had a great chin, phenomenal speed & tremendous footwork.
SRL is a great, but not the greatest. He lost to Duran in fight 1, was schooled for 13 rounds by Herans in fight 1 (credit for finishing it though) clearly lost fight 2 with Hearns and probably lost to Hagler!!

Great but not the greatest!!
